Step 3 When the dog has mastered the skills described above, increase the amount of tip in the board by moving the prop under the board closer to the approach end of the teeter (away from the pivot point) and then repeat step 2. Gradually increase the amount of tip until the board is parallel to the ground, repeating step 2 each time you adjust the board. Reward the dog when he is in the desired end contact position, either two-on/two-off (dogs 20lbs or over) or four-on (dogs under 20lbs). Repeat this process until the dog is comfortable doing a recall over the board on both your left and right side. Putting the Two Parts Together Once your dog has completed the two-table training progression described last month, and he is proficient enough at the Bang Game that he can jump up at least 12" or more onto the board and assume his end contact position, you are ready to put the two together. SeTuP Place the approach or up side of the teeter on a 24" table. When the board is resting on the 24" table it is parallel to the ground. Step 1 Do several repetitions of the Bang Game with the dog. © clean run ABOuT ReWARDS With both small and large dogs I only reward for position. I do very little rewarding for coming off the board. I am asking the dogs to do a lot of work to stop and the value needs to be high. If they get toys for coming off and only cookies for being on and they love their toys, well, you tell me what you think will happen. The dog will focus more on coming off rather than stopping, which is not what I want. I want my dog to have speed and work very hard to stop. If my dog gets “stuck” on the board, I release him and give him one cookie for coming off. I introduce tugging on the contact once my dog understands his end position. When I introduce tugging, I tug very lightly since I want to make it easy for my dog to tug while staying on the board. This is the only time that I release the dog from a stationary position and let him continue to tug. I want to make tugging in position worth the effort. But I quickly start to ask my dog to release the toy and then either give him the toy again or release him from the board. Once he really likes tugging on the board, he is no longer permitted to tug after the release. Remember, you want the value of the end position to be higher than when the dog is off the board. Step 2 Have the dog get on the table. Lead out to the end of the teeter and recall the dog to the end using your Target cue for the big dogs or Teeter for the small. Don’t be surprised if the dog can’t stop perfectly the first time; just try again. If the dog stops on the ground but not the board, reward the behavior once—but only once. Because you made the task much harder, you can loosen the criterion for one repetition. If he makes the same mistake again, however, don’t reward he dog and don’t scold him; just ignore it and try again.
